McClure was airlifted from the track and taken to University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital.

He was released on May 7th, and is expected to make a full recovery. But, because he suffered a concussion, he must be cleared by a doctor with at least five years experience with sports-related head injuries before he can get back into a race car.

As a result, McClure will miss this weekend’s Nationwide Series race at Darlington Raceway. Jeff Green, the 2000 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion and teammate to McClure at TriStar Motorsports, will drive the car.

During pre-qualifying inspection for the U.S. Cellular 250 race at Iowa Speedway, the No. 6 and 14 teams were found to be in violation of Sections 12-1; 12-4-J; and 20A-10.7G (lug nuts were less than the minimum specified thickness) of the 2011 NASCAR rule book.

Bliss said:

It feels good to finalize my plans for the 2011 season by joining the TriStar Motorsports team and to be reunited with Mark [Smith] and Dave [Fuge]. In 2002, Dave and I won the [Camping World] Truck[ Series] championship with Mark’s engines under the hood. All of us have high expectations for the upcoming season with TriStar.

Team owner Mark Smith said:

Adding Mike to our team, along with Eric [McClure], is another step in the right direction. I believe that we have put together a great group of people at TriStar and I only see great things on the horizon. The guys on the team are working hard on building our fleet of new cars for the upcoming season. We are working on finishing up some sponsorship programs with Bliss and we think 2011 will be a huge step in the development of TriStar Motorsports.
